You see, if you have many different areas that you target, when one part of the economy goes down, it doesn't mean it sinks your state. And so JobsOhio has been able to work to diversify us, and it's clearly working. And now that we're funded, we think we're even going to get more out of Jobs Ohio than we've seen so far.
We also moved directly in the direction of common sense regulations. Mary Taylor — Mary, stand up — our lieutenant governor of the state of Ohio.
Mary's husband, Mary's husband is a small businessman. He knows about the regulations and how they can kill small businesses, particularly the smallest businesses that are really fragile. Mary runs the Common Sense Initiative.
And let's just talk about our philosophy in one area — oil and gas. We believe in having an environment where we can prosper the oil and gas industry, but we also believe that in the process of doing it, we cannot endanger people and we cannot endanger the environment. And if you use common sense, you, in fact, can protect the public safety. You, in fact, can protect the environment and you can create jobs, and we are doing it in Ohio. Thank you, Mary, for your efforts at bringing common sense.
For me, there was always something unique about Ohio, something special. I can't help but smile when I think about coming to Ohio as a kid, as a little boy, seeing Cleveland. Cleveland rocks. Literally.
Been to the Hall? Lake Erie. Every time I fly up there, I look at that lake and I say, boy, are we lucky to have that Lake Erie right here in Ohio. We've got to take better care of it and we have to tell people more about it.
You know, I loved Ohio then, but then my father took me to Columbus to visit Ohio State University. A lot of dads, a lot of moms took their kids to visit Ohio State. I fell in love. You know, I sensed Ohio's excitement then, I felt its opportunity. I knew Ohio was going to be my home, and nobody was going to drag me away from this place because it's just so, so awesome.
But, folks, we have all seen our state drift over time. We've seen it get old. We've seen it begin to misfire and fall behind. But like a great old home, I knew Ohio could be restored to its grandeur, to its greatness. You see, Ohio is a land of hope and opportunity — realize dreams for our families. We're safe, we're friendly, we're filled with the potential to pursue our passions. We take care of our neighbors. You know, Ohio is a place where we can work, contribute, build a better community. We can be a shining example of how when people get together, they can get it right. And not just for ourselves, but for our children, of course, most especially.
But, folks, the rebuilding has to continue. We can't rest on our gains. We haven't tapped all of our potential. There are too many challenges that haven't been met and we move forward with this vision in mind and therefore, we must continue to build our economy, continue to build the new and exciting 21st-century jobs, and we must rebuild our roads, and our highways, and our bridges. We must provide for our children the opportunities that we all had. We need to lift, we need to lift the poor, we need to lift the beleaguered, and we need to have America follow us because I think they're beginning to, and perhaps one day they may even join us here in the great state of Ohio.
This is our vision, and our budget is the next step in that vision, but I would ask all of you to keep your eyes focused on the mountaintop. Don't get distracted or discouraged by the twists or the turns or the detours along the road. I really believe our legacy depends on what we do.
You know, Ohio is getting it right and it's being noticed. As most of you know here and some that are watching may not know, I recently traveled to Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum. I really wasn't that excited about going until I got there because I had the chance to meet with scores of job creators, CEOs. You know, they all wanted to meet with me. And you know why? Because they couldn't figure out why we were figuring it out.
All over the world, things aren't working. There's so much dysfunction. There's so much falling apart, and they asked me one simple thing: How are you getting these jobs created? What are you folks doing in Ohio? And not only that, they're saying, "How can you go from 89 cents to a $2 billion surplus, from $8 billion in the hole to a surplus? How is it happening? Because this is something we have to pay attention to because we may want to come to Ohio."
It was so fantastic to be there and to be a person that could represent everyone here. I wish you were all there. Because we think some of them are going to come to Ohio. We think we do have them excited because of the work that all of us have done.
Well, what do we do now? Should we rest on our laurels? That's what most people think when you pull out of the depths of where we were — just, you know, kind of relax. Should we put the state on cruise control? Oh, I got another one for you — why don't we just spend the surplus? Things are good, just go ahead and, you know, take your foot off the gas. Well, we're going to keep our foot on the gas here in this administration, and we hope you will join us.
And when we look at the great companies around the world, companies that continue to innovate, continue to embrace change, companies that have leaders with vision — think about this, folks — the ones that are the most exciting in the world today: Apple, Cardinal Health, Amazon, Google, the Cleveland Clinic, IBM, and right here in Northwest Ohio, Marathon. These companies strive for change every day and the State of Ohio must do it as well.
We cannot rest on our laurels. These companies, the companies don't fear big ideas. We must not fear big ideas. We must embrace them. Oh, yeah, let's debate them. And that's the fun part of being in the government, debate them without the personal attack, debate them on the merits, but embrace them, because at the end of the day, big ideas, it will renew us, it will restore our youth, it will give us excitement.
We will have a spring in our step because big ideas renew people. The only thing that can stop us, ladies and gentlemen, is the fear of change, the fear of big ideas. Let's not go there. We're starting to hit on all cylinders.
Our program of innovation and common sense policies, we believe, does create success. Just like the first budget helped us to dig out of the hole and set the stage for growth, this allows us to shift into higher gear. Our budget is designed to come together and create jobs and let's not forget, to provide help for the most vulnerable.
First and foremost, Ohio's taxes are too high, and they are particularly punishing to our small businesses. We punish our small businesses with too high of taxes in our state.
Flat out, end of story. They are the engines of job creation in our state. And let me be clear, this is a comprehensive program to cut taxes by $1.4 billion, and I'll talk about a few of the specifics. We propose lowering the sales tax from 5 1/2 to 5 percent.

OK, I confess. They're often derided, but I like Catalpas. Always have. However, with the exteptions of the golden and purple leaved cultivars, I have a LOT of trouble telling apart the two native Catalpas...C. bignonioides & C. speciosa. The only thing I can go off of is *usually* C. speciosa grows larger. Are there any good "clues" to tell the difference? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Different crown structure, flower structure and flowering times. Northern is tall growing with smaller heads of bigger flowers earlier in the summer (June); in bloom the heads are bunchy enough for it to look kind of like a rhododendron, from some distance. Southern is broad growing with large and open, branching heads of smaller flowers still being out much farther along in summer. |
- Posted by hairmetal4ever Z7 MD (My Page) on Thu, Oct 31, 13 at 15:22
Sounds like 90% of the Catalpas I see around are Northern then. |
Most of what you see in the mid-Atlantic states are N catalpa. The best way to tell on older trees is the trunk bark -- flaky, scaly on S catalpa, furrowed (like most other common trees) on N catalpa. |

Seven charged in vote-fraud scheme
Workers who were paid by a community-organizing group to register voters allegedly pulled names out of phone books and newspapers.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Workers accused of concocting the biggest voter-registration-fraud scheme in state history said they were under pressure from the community-organizing group that hired them to sign up more voters, according to charging papers filed Thursday.
To boost their output, the defendants allegedly went to the downtown Seattle Public Library, where they filled out voter-registration forms using names they made up or found in phone books, newspapers and baby-naming books.
One defendant "said it was hard work making up all those cards," and another "said he would often sit at home, smoke marijuana and fill out cards," according to a probable-cause statement written by King County sheriff's Detective Christopher Johnson.
Prosecutors in King and Pierce counties filed felony charges Thursday against seven employees of ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, claiming they turned in more than 1,800 phony voter-registration forms, including an estimated 55 in Pierce County.
The defendants have not entered pleas. They are scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 2.
None of the defendants has been arrested in connection with the alleged scheme. Two are in jail in unrelated cases.
The defendants faked cards as an easy way to get paid, not as an attempt to influence the outcome of elections, said King County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg. None of the phony registrations led to illegal voting.
"This is the worst case of voter-registration fraud in the history of the state of Washington. There has been nothing comparable to this," state Secretary of State Sam Reed said at a news conference with Satterberg, King County Executive Ron Sims and acting U.S. Attorney Jeff Sullivan.
State and local officials said they have signed a five-year agreement with ACORN that requires the organization to beef up its training and procedures for detecting and reporting fraud. ACORN agreed to pay King County $25,000 for investigative costs and acknowledged it could be subject to criminal prosecution if fraud occurs again.
Most of the alleged fraud took place in King County, whose Elections Canvassing Board on Thursday revoked 1,762 voter registrations filled out by ACORN canvassers. Most of the registrations used the addresses of Seattle homeless shelters.
Little Rock, Ark.-based ACORN organizes low- and moderate-income communities on issues including affordable housing, interest limits on payday loans and wider participation in elections.
King County prosecutors coordinated the probe, which began after election workers discovered in October that signatures on registration cards submitted by ACORN seemed to have been written by only a few people. The King County Sheriff's Office, Pierce County prosecutors, U.S. Attorney's Office and FBI participated.
King County prosecutors charged Tina Marie Johnson, 24, of Tacoma, and Jayson Lee Woods, 19, of Elkridge, Md., with eight counts each of providing false information on a voter registration. Clifton Eugene Mitchell, 44, of Lakewood, Pierce County, and Ryan Edward Olson, 28, of Needles, Calif., were charged with two counts each, and Robert Edward Greene, 56, of Tacoma, and Kendra Lynn Thill, 18, no known address, with one count each.
Brianna Rose Debwa, 35, of Tacoma, was charged with one count of providing false information on a voter registration and one count of making a false statement to a public official. The penalty for each charge is up to one year behind bars.
None of the defendants could be reached for comment Thursday.
Satterberg called Mitchell "a ringleader." According to charging papers, he encouraged canvassers he supervised to forge registration forms to meet ACORN's quota of 18 to 20 registrations per canvasser per day at a time when the organization was threatening to shut down the Puget Sound voter drive for poor performance.
Mitchell allegedly told investigators that a staff member in the ACORN national office promised him a $25,000-a-year job with benefits "if he got the numbers up."
Charging papers said Debwa, who was responsible for verifying the identity of newly registered voters and submitting cards to election officials, suspected canvassers were falsifying registrations in the final weeks of the two-county registration drive but didn't report it to higher ACORN officials for fear of losing her job.
Canvassers were paid $8 an hour, prosecutors said.
ACORN's Washington state president, John Jones, said he will put the emphasis in future campaigns on "doing it right" rather than meeting a quota. To guard against fraud in the future, he said, "We're going to screen people better, we're going to do background checks on them, we're going to check their references, we're going to get people with a track record in doing this. ...
"I apologize to the residents of the state of Washington. One thing we know for sure is ACORN is coming back, we're coming back stronger and we're going to give you a better product."
Jones said he was unaware of canvassers' criminal records.
According to court documents, Mitchell has two convictions for violating orders of protection against his girlfriend. He is currently booked into Pierce County Jail on a charge of violating a protection order issued in June.
Johnson pleaded guilty in Pierce County in 2002 to two counts of second-degree child molestation for taking part in a "truth or dare" game that resulted in a 12-year-old girl touching the private parts of an adult man. She also has convictions for burglary and theft in King County Superior Court.
Olson pleaded guilty in Pierce County to a 2005 charge of harassment for writing a bomb-threat note he claimed was intended as a prank on a co-worker. Greene is in Pierce County Jail on charges of possessing crack cocaine.
Elsewhere, four ACORN canvassers in Kansas City, Mo., have pleaded guilty in federal court to felony voter-registration fraud.

Shout out to the folks in Portland and area.......Looking to do a 1264kms(canadian) 1 way from Calgary,AB to Portland and was wondering the best Brewerys and Bars to check out.
You can start here: Here are so many great breweries, brewpubs and bars in Portland that anything posted will be a tiny sample.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" "I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Hopworks Urban Brewery and Deschuttes are my two favorites. Oh and almost any of the Mcmennamins. Edgefield is one of the best ones.
Thanks guys and will be seeing yas in a few months....Beerfest here we come...
The Horse Brass Pub is one of the best beer bars. The Green Dragon is also fantastic, as is Bailey's Tap Room. Rogue, Deschutes, Widmer, and Full Sail all have taprooms if you want some good stuff from the larger breweries. Cascade Barrel House is the place to go for locally made sour beers. Honestly, there's so much good beer in Portland, you can get a great tap selection in some of the numerous strip clubs. The Acropolis possibly has the most taps.
Avoid McMennamin's. Belmont Station and Horse Brass for bars; Cascade Barrel House, Laurelwood, Hopworks, Breakside, and Hair of the Dog for breweries/brew pubs.
Skip McMenamins. Belmont Station is great. Saraveza always has an awesome tap list. Cascade Barrel House makes really interesting sour beers, I would check them out for beers you don't see a lot of.
I enjoyed the digital keg display at Bailey's when I was in town last year. Also enjoyed Green Dragon.
-Retired Homebrewer
+1 Belmont Station for bottle shop Apex is a nice beer bar, bring in Los Gorditos from next door Beer mongers across the street New old Lompoc hedge house twenty blocks away +1 to skipping McMenimans, except if you want to see a movie. Beers are not exceptional. +1 hair of the dog Upright Laurelwood for beers, skip food
My wife and I grew up in the Portland area and we have lots of good memories of going to mcmennamins, i think that is why I like and miss it so much. Their beer and food isnt amazing but it is good and they are everywhere. I miss having somewhere like that around. I am up in portland this week and will be trying some of the newer places on this list. Hopworks is already planned, and want to try and get to horse brass or baileys.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Now that I have found this site (I wish it was only sooner), I would have to come to the conclusion of most everyone else. Now on my fifth week of waiting for another regulator, watching my summer slowly turn to fall,vacations come and go, driving across canada with no bbq and four kids, and still.... nothing, call webber, " they are back ordered" I just about lost it! They know this is a common problem,so either find a new regulator manufacturer or have thousands on hand! Do not make your customers suffer! Now they say I will be lucky to get one by Sept! Now I have my back against the wall and Iam forced to go out and buy another bbq to enjoy the rest of my summer! Thanks webber! It is on its way to Detroit now! I will never buy a supposedly " High end bbq again" I am so frustrated of getting ripped off! So for the rest of people that are going to buy one or have one now, call webber now and tell them your regulator doesn't work so now and you will have yourselves another one on hand so when it does go,and it will go, you will be prepard! For the positive side of this bbq, I am glad it has two handles so the two eldest boys can lift it for me.

The perfect piece of outerwear for those chilly Swedish nights.
A quartet of buckles toughens up these otherwise basic sneakers.
Roomy enough to fit Lisbeth's laptop, video camera and any other hacking necessities.
Including a piece from H&M's Dragon Tattoo collaboration was a no-brainer, and this quilted leather jacket looks so much more expensive than it really is.
It's a cuff. It's a ring. It looks like a weapon.
You'll live in these basic, beautifully-made moto boots.
Standard scarves can come loose when sprinting away from the bad guys. Snug snoods like this one are a far safer bet.
Nobody (nobody) does tough-looking jewelry quite like Pamela Love.
OK, before you get all "Lisbeth would never wear a skirt!" on me, just look at this Theyskens-designed beauty. If Salander was feeling fancy, she'd wear the hell out of this piece.
Our heroine does have lots of piercings...
The style name pretty much says it all.
Zana Bayne's incredible leather harnesses have Lisbeth's name written all over them.

This Platinum Pet Fountain is the "BEST" item I have ever purchased for my animals. It's unbelievably quiet. I showed it to my daughter and she bought one for her pets as soon as she saw it. No more empty water bowls...no more spilled water all over the floor. Thank you Drinkwell...you have a great product!
Since I adopted my cat Charlie 5 months ago, I never once seen him drink water out of his water dish, but as soon as I put the Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain by his favorite hangout spot, it took him only 4 days to figure out that it was fresh water just for him! He slurps water out of it now twice or more daily, he just love to drink water now. I only have to refill the reservoir once every 2 weeks!! Amazing!!!!!
I left this filled for the dog for over a week. I never saw him go near it. I finally had to put down a standard water bowl for fear he would become dehydrated. This sounds good but does not function well. Set up instructions were so unclear that it took me two hours. Had to figure it out myself. I returned it but received only a merchandise credit. Entirely Pets does not cover returns so I had to return it at my own expense at usps for about $20. It was a lose/lose proposition. Stay away.

Competition among Naples' historic pizzerias is fierce and for decades, institutions have reigned, attracting loyal admirers with their cheap pies and no frills atmosphere. But recently, the preeminence of the city's long established pizza joints is being challenged by a new crop of pizzerias seeking to transform the humble native dish into a gourmet product crafted with top notch ingredients. I traveled to Naples for the NYT to explore the city's new school pizzeria 50 Kalò, where tradition and inovation dwell in delicious harmony. The whole story is online and in this weekend's paper.

Hey Shaun, glad to see the first coming through, and all in one piece and that you like it. I've still got my set-up on my Tx here if you need it, I had my Monocoupe flying very well with these settings. This bird tends to like more rudder in the turn and needs very little aileron movement anyway.
But let me know, I'll be happy to post those Tx settings. S. |

Hey Stuart, thanks for jumping in here, I would post your settings as it may help as something to work to. I generally start with 100% throws and 35% expo and work from there, I think I will add some rudder mix as I have with my SE5a.
Thanks Shaun. Build notes: Trim or make the holes bigger in the cockpit plastic for the wing screws, so they find where they need to go easier, also with the tail wheel assy ream the plastic support (rear of fuse) a smidgen as it will make it easier to install the rudder and reduce binding, with the tail wheel holding collar tighten and loosen before install just to make sure it will do up with out too much effort. These are very very minor and easy to do. I will add more if I find any but it is a dead simple build. |
Sep 19, 2012, 09:40 PM | |
Ok guy's I will do tonight when I get back home to my Tx, Shaun thanks for the pointers.

Another great book, I felt sorry for the wolf in Mara, but not the human who was treating her wolf as the worst of the worst. I would give the series a 10 out of 10. Makes me appreciate my wife and two dogs even more now. Great Work Nicky.
This book was my favorite in the series.I loved Bryan, how kind and patient he was. I like how this book never really slowed down.I also loved how we get a glimpse into the old characters in each book it is so nice to revisit them. Thank you Nicky for the wonderful books. I hope your health is improving.
Hi Nicky. Congratulation for the fantastic story. Although I start late reading your book. I guess I have the pleasure of reading all the series without waiting for the series to continue. I love your wolfs very much unike Hollywood werewolf, your wolf can magic back their cloths on and your wolf are handsome and beautiful. Not half human half wolf. Among the 3 couples, I love Kane and Elize the most. I always to know what happen to them in The Keeping & Finding. I hope your shoulder are getting… (more)
OMG so I've now read 3 of your books... It started with Kane and Elise... Then on to Ryne and Melody... And just in the past 15 mins I finished with Bryan and Cassie... All three times you took me away from a book by one of my favorite authors... That is REALLY hard to do. And you should deffinatly write about Sam and Damian. I will be keeping an eye out for new books. Just as a side note I all your books exept Forever in time on barnesandnoble by searching through their free ebooks. Keep up the good work and I hope to see more soon!
Bravo! Do write another expanding on the Sam character! Loved how you continued to intertwine the old characters with new. Again, loved it and referred friends.
Fantastic books, I couldn't put them down. I can't wait for more. You're a fantastic writer with a gift for keeping us on the edge. I would love to see more books on the lives of the Weres' you have created.
There are no more words to add to all these great, but oh so true comments. You gave me so many joyful reading hours and I thank you for that. I too got hooked from the moment reading the first chapter of The Mating. Have red them all and I am really curious about Sam and Damien, hope their story is available soon.
I loved these books! Great job. I feel they were really well written and I am so glad I got to read them. They dragged me in and I wasnt able to stop reading til I had read them all. I would love if you wrote more
I simply love Nicky Charles!!! I've read all her books and I just cannot stop reading... pls write more sequel!!! Thanks and God Bless ^_^
LOVE this trilogy. These were the first books I have read of Nicky Charles. The stories are great, but PLEASE find another thought preference than nibbling, biting, chewing, gnawing, or doing anything else to one's lips! That was very distracting. It lessened in succeeding books, but quickly became tired and banal. Perhaps use words like thoughtfully, apprehensively, anxiously, nervously, agitated, stomach in knots…you get the idea. I would love to see a continuation of this trilogy as I absolutely… (more)
Oh my!!! What another great read that I just couldn't wait to get back to and read more!! Well developed characters and storylines kept me in suspense through the whole book! The addition of Sam and Damien has me salivating for the next book! I hope your health is such that you can write and you definitely are developing a fan base that is clamoring for more of your work! My daughter and one of my son's friends have started the series after hearing me rave about your writing. I also did as you… (more)
I absolutely LOVED these books!! Nicky Charles is an amazing writer!!! Once I started reading I couldn't/wouldn't stop until my iPad would die!! I'm hoping for A fourth!! Excellent, excellent , excellent!!!!
Can't say enough good things about these books! I just spent 5 days reading all four (new BONDING just out). Excellent story lines! kept me in suspense! 5 stars out of 5! Thank goodness I'm finished so I can catch up on my sleep now!
I really enjoyed this Trilogy of books (I read all three before posting any comments). The continuation of the story began in The Mating and the exploration of the characters has been fabulous! I really feel a part of that world and a part of their family! I couldn't put any of them down and found myself reading into the early hours of the morning (not good when you have to get up early for work a few hours later!). These books should be in print! Nicky Charles is a really talented author. Hope… (more)
I've just finished reading the trilogy and it was great. If there are more on the way, keep them coming. They were definately page turners.
I love these books!!! I hope you will continue to write this series. I want to know what happens with Damien and Sam. I read a small piece about them and I hope to read more. I would also like to know what happens with Daniel. There are a lot of people in the series I would like to read about.

NSW secures help to stave off bushfire worst-case scenarios
PUBLISHED: 24 Oct 2013 00:05:00 | UPDATED: 24 Oct 2013 05:07:51PUBLISHED: 24 Oct 2013 PRINT EDITION: 24 Oct 2013Record contingents from interstate were involved in the firefighting effort. Photo: Dean Osland
Geoff Winestock
A record force of NSW and interstate firefighters appeared to have prevented the worst on Wednesday but there have been calls for greater national co-ordination to prepare for future bushfire emergencies.
Almost 13,000 firefighters were deployed to fight NSW fires, including 1000 from interstate, battling galeforce wind gusts and high temperatures. Although at least 70 fires were still burning and three emergencies were declared, it appeared they had succeeded in preventing any loss of life or major property damage.
As the fire emergency went into its sixth day, the focus spread from the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, where 200 homes were destroyed last Thursday, to Newcastle, north of Sydney. New fires there threatened houses and cut the Pacific Highway. Many citizens in the Blue Mountains heeded warnings and voluntarily evacuated to areas away from the fire fronts. As the crisis unfolded, a fire fighting helicopter was switched between the two fronts north and west of Sydney.
Temperatures were expected to fall and winds move around from the west to the south on Thursday, easing the fire threat, but the Bureau of Meteorology was still predicting strong winds.
It was unclear whether schools would remain closed in the Blue Mountains area or whether those evacuated would be able to return.
NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell hailed the record contingents from interstate involving in the firefighting effort. "This is co-operative federalism at its best and I thank these interstate volunteers for their help," Mr O'Farrell said.
Joint effort commended
Peter Marshall, national secretary of the United Firefighters Union of Australia, commended the joint effort by firefighters but he said more needed to be done to allow different state firefighting forces to work together: "What is needed is a national centralised body of co-ordinated response in the form of mutual aid."
He said one problem limiting mutual aid was that different firefighting forces had different procedures and could not use each other's equipment.
Mr Marshall said the problems of inter-operability had been raised by the inquiry into the 2009 Victorian bushfires and had been highlighted by the bushfires in Tasmania in January when hundreds of Victorian firefighters were deployed but made little impact because they were not trained on Tasmanian fire trucks. Currently Victoria has supplied 511 firefighters, but Mr Marshall said they had to drive their trucks to NSW, as did 238 firefighters from SA. Queensland supplied another 115.
A spokesman for Fire and Rescue Commissioner Greg Mullins said there were no problems working with interstate crews. The only incompatibility between NSW and interstate firefighters were radio channels and standpipes to access water hydrants. He said NSW provided portable radios and standpipes and a Melbourne fire crew was deployed at a house fire in Granville.
The Australasian Fire and Emergency Services Council raised the issue of interstate co-operation in a recent submission to a Senate inquiry. It warned of delays in sharing the costs. It said that as the number of bushfires increased, states might be wary of sharing resources.

Sounds like it's staying way to wet. I'm thinking anaerobic break down of the potting mix, which means there is no air getting in & it's putrifying. They don't have to stay soaking wet. Let the top inch or so dry some between watering. Most bog plants live a couple inches above the water line on hummocks, most of the season with periodic inundations. Hope this helps. Frank |
Yeah a bad smell is a sign that things are far too wet. Try lightening up on the water instead of adding charcol. |
ok that helps alot actually, so should i repot it and add MORE pumice or if i ease up on the watering will the smell go away or both lol |

After working on my Christmas cards I think my name is pretty long. I have 20 letters in my full name, make it 26 if I add my maiden name. How many letters are in your full name? Sue |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by cherryfizz (My Page) on Thu, Nov 29, 12 at 21:08
22 letters |
19 for the way I usually use it, but 26 if I add in my maiden name. |
11 for my regular name; 16 with my maiden name. |
25, add my maiden name..30 |
17 here. Before I was married it was 15. I had 5 letters in a three of my names. |
19....24 if I include my maiden name. |

23 and 27 with maiden name |
Let's see the way everyone calls me - 1 the way everyone writes - 17 full name - 27 with maiden name ... - 38 isn't this weird? |
22 and 26 with maiden name |

13 but 19 with my maiden name. |
- Posted by Lindsey_CA (My Page) on Thu, Nov 29, 12 at 23:28
If by "full name" you mean First, Middle, and Last names, mine would be 18, not including any spaces between the names. Add my maiden name in before my married name, and it would be 23. |
I have 17, with maiden name 26 |
17, first, middle and last name together. Moni |
Currently 15, each of the three have five. I've been married three times (no more! I won't even date. Haven't been on a date in over four years), so I won't do the maiden name thing. All of my names at one time? 37 letters |
Over the years, my name has shrunk....from the original 16 letters to 15, and now down to 13. |
Fifteen. Maiden name was sixteen. |
19 and would be plus 5 for maiden name. |
33 including my middle name and former married name |
18. As I was "Made in Canada" - same number. ole joyful |

give someone the air
Also, give someone the brush off or the gate or the old heave-ho. Break off relations with someone, oust someone, snub or jilt someone, especially a lover. For example, John was really upset when Mary gave him the air, or His old friends gave him the brush off, or Mary cried and cried when he gave her the gate, or The company gave him the old heave-ho after only a month. In the first expression, which dates from about 1920, giving air presumably alludes to being blown out. The second, from the first half of the 1900s, alludes to brushing away dust or lint. The third, from about 1900, uses gate in the sense of "an exit." The fourth alludes to the act of heaving a person out, and is sometimes used to mean "to fire someone from a job" (see get the ax). All these are colloquialisms, and all have variations using get, get the air (etc.), meaning "to be snubbed or told to leave," as in After he got the brush off, he didn't know what to do.

And yes, I recently became aware that a guy from twilight has a very similar name, but I just couldn't bring myself to change his, plus this one's been around for much longer, plus fuck that other guy.
I know this question has nothing to do with Twilight and I apologize, but I've been wondering for a while, how do you make your background textures/ patterns?
'I recently became aware that a guy from twilight has a very similar name' like this isn't a Twilight homage. Textured niceness!

text: Pregnancy > Nutrition & Exercise 5 Pregnancy Energy Boosters Sorry, but you can't order the Trenta (extra-large!) coffee while you're expecting, but you can find other ways to get a lift. Photo: Thinkstock 1. Water Very few women drink six to eight glasses of water per day, and you're supposed to have even more, since your body's busy making baby's amniotic fluid. (The water you drink helps constantly replenish the fluid supply.) Dehydration can also up your risk of urinary tract infections and preterm labor. Sick of plain water? Frances Largeman-Roth, registered dietician and author of Feed the Belly: The Pregnant Mom's Healthy Eating Guide, suggests drinking coconut water, or adding mint or lemon, lime or cucumber slices to your H2O. However you like your water, the key is carrying an 8-ounce bottle with you all day and sipping from it often.2. Nuts Snacking throughout the day can help keep your energy up -- and nuts are convenient to carry with you. They offer protein and fiber to keep you fuller longer, plus healthy fats (including brain-boosting omega-3s) and magnesium (you need 800 milligrams). Trying not to go too crazy with calories? Shell-on pistachios take longer to eat, giving your body more time to register that it's full. Yawn! The first trimester, when your body goes to work making baby, is the most exhausting. Energy dips again around the six-month mark, this time from not sleeping well. 3. Mangoes Most pregnant women are mildly anemic (which equals tired), especially during the final stages of pregnancy, when the body is prepping for birth and producing a ton of extra blood. Your lifesaver? Mangoes, says Largeman-Roth. "The natural fruit sugars in mangoes lift energy levels. Plus, fresh mango is an excellent source of folate, which can help prevent birth defects." Mango also has vitamin C, which helps your body absorb the energy-boosting effects of iron-rich foods, like lean red meat and beans.4. Spinach Did we mention spinach? Here's another example of an iron-rich food. One cup of boiled spinach offers 6.4 milligrams of iron. Keep a bag of it on hand for salads and sautés, and even sneak it into your Sunday lasagna. Note that while spinach is high in iron for a veggie, you need a whopping total of 27 milligrams of iron each day during pregnancy. So keep taking your prenatal vitamin too.5. Sweet Potatoes Here's another food to help you reach your iron quota -- one medium sweet potato offers 0.8 milligrams. The vitamin C and copper assist in its absorption too. Bonus: Your body uses a sweet potato's beta-carotene to make vitamin A, which helps baby's eye, bone and skin development. (If you're eating well and still feel ridiculously sluggish, see your OB, who may want to test for anemia or check your thyroid.)

Ridgefield resident Lisa Schmidt is passionate about her Catholic faith -- so passionate in fact that she staked signs in her yard encouraging others to "stand up for religious freedom."
And stand up is exactly what Schmidt did when she received a notice from her homeowners association asking her to remove the religious freedom signs, which had been set up alongside several yard signs expressing support for political candidates.
It all started with a neighbor's complaint about all the signs in Schmidt's yard.
The Mt. Vista Home Owners Association's handbook allows homeowners in the 430-home subdivision to place candidate signs in their yards within the 45 days leading up to an election, but the religious freedom signs did not fit the description of what's allowed, according to the association's notice that was sent to Schmidt.
Schmidt, a marketing professional, said she typically advises people that "emotion has no place in rational thinking," but said she's had trouble following her own advice in this particular situation.
"(The homeowners association is) overzealous to say the least," she said. "It's gone too far."
Getting put on notice by her homeowners
association prompted Schmidt to get a lawyer from the Liberty Council in Arlington, Va. The council is "dedicated to advancing religious freedom, the sanctity of life, and the family," according to its website. In a strongly worded letter sent to the Mt. Vista association, the Liberty Council asserts that Schmidt's signs are protected speech under a 2005 state law.
The legal letter was a surprise to the homeowners association, which is working to address Schmidt's concerns, Vicki Sparks, Mt. Vista association manager, said.
According to state law: "The governing documents (of a homeowners association) may not prohibit the outdoor display of political yard signs by an owner or resident on the owner's or the resident's property before any primary or general election." The law gives homeowners associations some wiggle room to create "reasonable rules and regulations regarding the placement and manner of display of political yard signs."
The Mt. Vista association rule book was updated following the passage of the 2005 law after the association consulted with an attorney, Sparks said. The homeowners' association wrote its rules to allow residents to post one sign per political candidate or political issue. If a resident wants to put up a sign about a political issue, that issue must be on the ballot in the upcoming election, according to Mount Vista rules.
The signs in Schmidt's yard that mention religious freedom also display the Web address for the Stand Up for Religious Freedom Coalition, which is made up of a long list of anti-abortion groups from across the nation. The group is a political organization, and therefore the signs are political speech, the Liberty Council argues in its letter.
The 2005 state law "gives (homeowners associations) no authority whatsoever to regulate the content of political yard signs, or the time frame in which they may be displayed in an election year," Schmidt's attorney, Richard Mast, wrote in the letter. "Schmidt is a politically active Christian, and will be voting in the upcoming August 7, 2012 primary. … She votes her religious conviction," the letter continues.
The letter also points out that if an association loses a legal dispute, "the court can award the prevailing party reimbursement for reasonable attorneys' fees." Mast said by phone on Wednesday that he would not disclose whether the group planned to sue the homeowners association because he did not want to discuss legal strategy.
The Mt. Vista association doesn't have a philosophical problem with Schmidt's religious signs, Sparks said, and the board was doing what it had to do to respond to a complaint about the signs in Schmidt's yard.
The board received the Liberty Council's letter earlier this week and will review it with the help of their attorney, Sparks said. If the attorney advises that the homeowners association rules should change, then the board will consider taking those steps, she said.
The board is a volunteer group of homeowners who live in the subdivision, and they are "not out to stop anybody's free speech," Sparks said. "The board is just figuring out the right thing to do now."
The silver lining, Schmidt said, is that her experience has allowed her to talk with her children about important political topics, including property rights and the First Amendment.
"We've had some strong conversations in our home about what it means to live in the United States," she said.

(Updates with clawbacks in fourth paragraph.)
Oct. 17 (Bloomberg) -- A U.S. district judge said he would take over a lawsuit by the liquidator of Bernard Madoff's firm against investor Gerald Blumenthal to decide whether a trustee can demand the return of payments made by the confidence man's brokerage to its clients.
U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff said he would take 31 related suits out of bankruptcy court as well, "to the extent that the 31 cases that joined Blumenthal" raised the same issues. A bankruptcy judge could rule on remaining issues, Rakoff said in the Oct. 14 filing in Manhattan federal court.
Rakoff said he would issue a written explanation of his decision "in due course" and directed lawyers for all parties to contact him to set a schedule.
Most of the 1,000 suits the trustee, Irving Picard, has filed to gather funds for customers who lost money are aimed at clawing back profit withdrawn before Madoff's 2008 bankruptcy, he has said. Picard, who has raised $8.7 billion to pay claims of $17.3 billion, has said parties in 247 of his suits are seeking new judges.
Rakoff's ruling on Picard's $1 billion suit against the New York Mets owners could cost him $6.2 billion, the trustee estimates.
Ponzi Scheme
Blumenthal, a doctor who invested in the Ponzi scheme, was sued for $1.6 million in transfers deemed "fraudulent" under bankruptcy law. He asked Rakoff to rule on whether the Madoff estate owes him the amount reflected on his Madoff brokerage statements, among other issues, and was joined by the 31 other investors facing similar so-called clawback suits.
Rakoff said he would decide if the trustee's actions were "consistent" with non-bankruptcy law on three issues, one of which he had already addressed by reducing Picard's potential recovery from Mets owners Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz.
Rakoff said he also would rule on a third question, whether Picard can claw back money taken out of the Ponzi scheme if it was an obligatory withdrawal from a retirement account. Older people must take funds out or pay a penalty, under federal law.
Amanda Remus, a Picard spokeswoman, didn't immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment on Rakoff's order. Jonathan Landers, a lawyer for Blumenthal, declined to comment.
The case is Picard v. Blumenthal, 11-cv-04293, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Johnnie Walker Blue Label - 750 mlBLUE LABEL is the pinnacle whisky of the House of Walker — it's the epitome of blending. Created to reflect the style of whiskies in the early 19th century, it's created using some of our rarest casks from the JOHNNIE WALKER stocks, the largest in the world.The casks are hand-selected and set aside for their exceptional quality, character and flavour. The character of BLUE LABEL is truly unique; it's complex, powerful, incredibly smooth and retains the JOHNNIE WALKER signature smokiness.JOHNNIE WALKER BLUE LABEL KING GEORGE V was created to celebrate the Royal Warrant given to the Walker family in 1934 to mark their exceptional quality. This blend includes PORT ELLEN, a highly prized malt whose distillery no longer exists.THE JOHN WALKER is the most recent addition, created as a tribute to our founder. Hand-crafted in single barrel batches of only 330 bottles it's an exceptionally rare blend of 9 whiskies, and including those from GLEN ALBYN and CAMBUS distilleries. It's presented in a unique, individually-numbered Baccarat crystal decanter — hand blown, polished and engraved by one of only three Master Craftsmen in the world.JOHNNIE WALKER BLUE LABEL sets the standard, with layers and layers of flavour from hand-selected, rare casks from across the distilling regions of Scotland. Its flavours are influenced by the smoke of the west and the rich, sweet whiskies of the east.King George V has more restraint and sophistication. The smoke is supplied from the unique, closed distillery of Port Ellen and is powerful, slow and resonant. It's a slower whisky to evolve but has enormous depth.The John Walker edition takes the learning and knowledge behind the idea of hand selection, and the rarity and elegance of small stocks from some closed distilleries. The layers of taste evolve and resonate with an elegant smoky finish.NOT FOR SALE TO PERSONS UNDER THE AGE OF 18 YEARS. DRINK RESPONSIBLYWe recommend that you choose the couriers to ship this item!!

Great British Chefs search allows you to search for ingredients, recipes, chefs and restaurants. Here are some examples:
Rice pudding conjures up wonderful memories of my mum producing a large glass casserole dish full of steaming, creamy rice pudding she had just pulled from the oven.
I know some people have bad memories of rice pudding and tapioca from their school days, but believe me, when it's homemade with love, nothing beats it.
I usually make rice pudding with fresh milk, but this time I made it dairy free for my husband who's vegan. He had a huge smile on his face as he tucked in and even though I made him a massive bowlful, he still asked for more.
My recipe uses soya milk, but feel free to substitute this for whole or semi-skimmed milk, if you don't have vegan or lactose intolerant guests.
Usually when I make rice pudding, I finish it off with a grinding of fresh nutmeg, but this time I decided to introduce different spices. I cooked the rice with some ground cinnamon and ginger, then just before serving I grated some fresh cinnamon on top.
Now I love cinnamon, but I only recently came across fresh cinnamon sticks from Cinnamon Hill. They sell freshly harvested Ceylon and Saigon cinnamon sticks. The Ceylon comes from Sri Lanka and has a warmth that is almost citrussy and the Saigon comes from Vietnam and has some heat to it as well as sweetness. The difference in flavour between bottled ground cinnamon and freshly grated is immense.
I made enough for one rather large bowlful, but you can easily multiply the recipe for more servings. Also I cooked my rice pudding gently on the cooker top, but you could pop it in the oven, check on it occasionally and add more milk if it needs it.
Serves 1 greedy diner
100g pudding rice
600ml sweetened soya milk or other dairy free alternative
60g caster sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
a good pinch of ground cinnamon
a good pinch of ground ginger
a good grating of fresh cinnamon (optional) Method

Jane White kicked her odd mix of addictions a few years ago, telling herself that one slip would return her to a life of smoking or political activism.
She lived "clean" until a few months ago. When the 61-year-old Scottsdale resident heard about a $15.8 billion transportation plan for the Valley, stress made her yield to temptation.
White's kitchen table shows which vice is back in her bloodstream.
Binders cover the surface, filled with thousands of news clippings on transportation issues. A book of transportation projects sits on a nearby counter, and she enthusiastically rattles off statistics, traces freeway alignments and talks of fighting a Nov. 2 election on the transportation plan.
"The more you look at it, the worse the plan is," White says at her kitchen counter. "And that's because it's not a plan, it's a deal."
This is vintage White, who was one of the Valley's most vocal transportation activists during the freeway building boom of the 1980s and 1990s. Her outspokenness helped to change transportation policy in the Valley.
After a few years out of the spotlight, White plans to resume her battle. She's just starting to meet with others who oppose the plan, including some lawmakers and at least one city councilman, to organize a campaign.
White supports many of the projects in the plan, such as wider roads and freeways and increased bus service. But she opposes spending $2.2 billion on light-rail construction and funding the plan with continuation of a half-cent sales tax in Maricopa County for regional transportation projects.
White argues that most of the projects are local and should be financed by individual cities or regional plans. Politicians crafted the plan, she said, with more interest in economic development than in moving people.
"The public complains about congestion," White said. "The mayors use that anger from the public for what they really want, which is economic development — that's the reason for light rail."
The transportation plan has taken heat from some politicians and other activists for more than a year, but White has only recently been among the critics.
White's activism began in the mid-1980s, when the Arizona Department of Transportation announced her home and others along Pima Road in Scottsdale would be razed to build the Pima Freeway stretch of Loop 101. But everything was on hold while officials debated an alternate alignment to spare the homes.
The decision took years and held up hundreds of lives. Nobody could sell a home that might soon disappear.
White was a homemaker and C-Span junkie with no political experience. But she became active because of what she saw as the indifference of public officials to the human face of their decisions. White made sure they knew with telephone calls, appearances at public meetings and fights against projects she opposed. She was a key leader in getting the Maricopa Association of Governments to reform. The transportation planning group was largely driven by staff at the time, but complaints got Valley mayors to take a larger role and make the organization accountable to the public, said Tom Rawles, a former chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.
"She was an instrumental player," Rawles said. "I found her input and her approach to be very refreshing and very useful to me in trying to get the elected officials to take a more aggressive leadership role."
White is a relentless fighter, Rawles said, but still enjoyable to be around, even when the two disagreed. Even those who regularly were at odds with White gave her credit, including the late Scottsdale Mayor Herb Drinkwater. In 1985, he declared March 11 would be Jane White Day for her efforts.
White is intense when arguing her point, but jokes around even when explaining her deepest frustrations.
"If you don't laugh at this stuff, you'll blow your brains out," White said.
White also relaxes with a three-mile daily walk, quilting and tending to her collection of computers and electronic gadgets. White said she's not a social butterfly and is most content at home. But when she saw the new transportation plan, she decided to again challenge elected officials and transportation planners.
"It isn't much fun fighting all the power they have," White said. " You win 1 percent, but, oh, that 1 percent is so sweet."
